This study investigated the quality characteristics of sweet pumpkin after blanching. Sweet pumpkins were blanched in distilled water, 2% citric acid and 2% NaCl water at 100oC for 3 min. The cooking loss of sweet pumpkin in the blanching groups was lower than that in the control group, and greenness and yellowness in the blanching groups were higher than those in the control group (p<0.001). Total polyphenol content (TPC) of sweet pumpkin increased after blanching (p<0.05), and TPC true retention (TR) was measured with the highest NB. CON and NB were significantly higher in ?- carotene content (p<0.001). Lutein content in the blanching treatment groups was lower than that in the control group, but NB was the highest between the blanching groups (p<0.001). DPPH and ABTS+ radical scavenging activity assays revealed higher antioxidant activity in the NB groups among the blanching groups (p<0.001). The CON was 2.44 log colonyforming unit (CFU)/ g in the total bacterial count, but there were no microorganisms in the blanching groups. In conclusion, blanching with the addition of 2% NaCl can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and improve TR and antioxidant activities in sweet pumpkin.

본 연구에서는 항산화 효능과 관능적 특성이 강화된 막걸리 제조를 위해 통단호박을 직접 찐 후 비율별로 첨가하여 막걸리를 제조하였다. 단호박 막걸리 제조를 위해 단호박을 쌀 중량의 5%, 10%, 20% 및 30%를 첨가하였으며 발효 및 담금 후 9일간 단호박 막걸리의 이화학적(pH, 총산 및 알코올), 미생물학적(유산균 및 효모수) 및 항산 화 활성을 조사하였다. pH의 경우 모든 실험군에서 발효 및 저장기간이 늘어날수록 점차 낮아졌으며 9일차에는 단호박 무첨가군인 대조군(3.27)에 비해 단호박 첨가군(3.28- 3.52)이 다소 높은 결과를 보였다. 총산도는 1일차(0.09- 0.55) 및 3일차(0.81-0.86)에 급격히 증가하였으며, 그 후 서서히 증가하여 9일차에는 단호박 첨가군에서 1.16-1.32의 결과를 보였다. 알코올 함량은 9일차에 대조군 0%가 4.59로 가장 낮았고 단호박 5-30% 첨가군에서 5.20-5.77% 로 단호박 첨가량이 많아질수록 알코올 함량이 높았다. 유산균수 측정의 경우 발효초반에 증가하는 양상을 보이다가 5일차부터 다소 감소하거나 유사하여 9일차에는 단호박 첨가 0-30% 첨가군에서 7.95-8.09 log CFU/g로 나타났으며, 효모수의 경우 발효가 진행될수록 증가와 감소를 다소 반복하였으며 9일차에는 7.68-7.99 log CFU/g으로 측정되었다. DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거능은 단호박 30% 첨가군에서 85.96 및 78.97%로 각각 측정되어 단호박 무첨가군의 DPPH (48.29%) 및 ABTS (62.12%) 결과와 비교 시 높은 항산화 활성도를 보였다. 따라서 추후 단호박 첨가에 따른 각종 비타민류, 무기질 및 β-carotene 등의 영양·기능성 성분의 분석과 더불어 소비자의 관능평가 등을 통해 항산화 기능이 강화된 단호박 막걸리의 실용화를 위한 구체적인 연구개발의 확대가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

곡물류 중 단호박은 서양계호박(Cucurbita maxima Duch)으로 분류되며 당분과단백질, 지방, 총아미노산, 유리당, vitamin A·B1, B2 및 vitamin C와 Fe 및 카로틴 함량이 높고, 전자공여에 의한 라디칼 소거능, SOD 유사활성 및 아질 산염소거 작용 등의 항산화 활성이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 귀리(Avena sativa L.)는 수용성식이섬유의 생리적 기 능이 우수한 것으로 알려지면서 수용성 β-glucan의 함량이 높은 귀리에 대한 관심이 증가하게 되었다. 귀리는 식품에 이 용 될 때 생곡류의 특유의 이취를 없애고 풍미를 좋게 하기 위하여 중간소재로써 볶은 귀리를 사용하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 기능적인 특성으로 선식이나 곡류 차 등 음료의 중간소재로써 많이 사용하게 되었다. 본 실험에서는 곡류 중 기능성 성분 함량이 높은 것으로 알려진 단호박과 귀리를 선택하여 기능성 성분 분석을 실시하였다. 이를 위해 시중에 서 판매되고 있는 국내외산 단호박과 귀리의 중간소재를 구입하여 80% 메탄올로 추출 후, 추출물의 total phenolics contents (TP), total flavonoids contents (TF)를 측정하였다. 또한 항산화능을 측정하기 위해 ABTS radical 소거능, DPPH radical 소거능을 측정하였다. 그 결과, TP 함량(mg GAE/100g sample)은 국내, 국외 단호박 중간소재의 경우 각각 476 ± 20, 273 ± 20으로 국내 소재가 더 높게 나타났다. 귀리 중간소재의 경우 106 ± 4, 126 ± 3으로 측정되었다. TF (mg CE/100g sample)는 단호박의 경우 국내산 23 ± 2, 외국산 14 ± 1, 귀리의 경우 국내산 23 ± 2, 외국산 71 ± 6으로 측정되었다. 곡 류의 항산화능은 DPPH 라디컬 소거능(mg VCE/100g sample)을 측정 시, 단호박의 경우 국내산 199 ± 46, 외국산 103 ± 10, 귀리의 경우 국내산 72 ± 5, 외국산 70 ± 6으로 나타났다. ABTS 라디컬 소거능(mg VCE/100g sample)은 단호박 의 경우 국내산 311 ± 8, 외국산 133 ± 4, 귀리의 경우 국내산 161 ± 23, 외국산 2,384 ± 113으로 측정되었다. 통계분석 (t-test)을 통해, 귀리 중간소재의 DPPH radical 소거능을 제외한 TP, TF 및 ABTS radical 소거능에서 국내산과 국외산 단호박 및 귀리 중간소재 간에 유의적인 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 단호박과 귀리는 우리나라에서 식품 의 중간소재로 많이 활용되고 있는 곡류이지만 중간소재의 기능성 분석에 대한 연구는 아직 미미한 실정이다. 따라서, 이 결과를 통해 중간소재로 사용되고 있는 단호박과 귀리의 기능성 분석에 대한 기초 자료를 확보 할 수 있을 것이다.

This study investigated the effects of freeze-dried sweet pumpkin powder on the baking of bread. Freeze-dried sweet pumpkin powder (0, 3, 6, 9, or 12%) was supplemented during the baking process and the bread volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss rate, texture, and sensory characteristics were measured. The results were following. Freeze-dried sweet pumpkin contained 4.88% water, 4.40% protein, and 4.02% ash. The L-values (brightness) of the bread were significantly lower as increasing amounts of sweet pumpkin powder were added (p<0.001). However, higher values for the a-value (redness) and b-value (yellowness) were observed (p<0.01 for both values). The volume and baking loss rate decreased when the sweet pumpkin powder was added. In contrast, the weight significantly increased as sweet pumpkin powder was added (p<0.01) and the intensity of dark brown color increased. The outer side of the bread was balanced overall, but the outer skin of the bread appeared darker as the amount of sweet pumpkin powder increased. The overall acceptability, hardness (p<0.001), elasticity (p<0.01), cohesiveness (p<0.01), gumminess (p<0.01), and brittleness (p<0.001) increased as sweet pumpkin powder increased as well. However, when sweet pumpkin powder was added at 12%, the overall acceptability value was fairly low. Sensory parameters, such as taste (p<0.001), color (p<0.001), and flavor (p<0.05) were observed when sweet pumpkin powder was used at 3% and these results were lower than the control. Overall acceptability (p<0.001) was best when sweet pumpkin powder was used at 9% and the texture was best when sweet pumpkin powder was used at 6%.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of sweet pumpkin (Cucurbita Maxima D.) powder on the quality characteristics of cookies. The cookies were made with various sweet pumpkin powder levels (10%, 20%, and 30%). The pH of the dough increased while the density of the dough decreased as the amount of sweet pumpkin powder increased. The width of cookies determined by water content in dough increased with increasing sweet pumpkin powder level. The L value of cookies was significantly the largest in the control group. The b value was the highest for the 30% substituted sample group. According to textural measurements, the hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and brittleness of the cookies with sweet pumpkin powder were higher in concentration than those of the control group. According to the sensory evaluation, the appearance, color, flavor, and texture of cookies with 10-20% sweet pumpkin powder were higher compared to those of the control group. The overall most acceptable cookie group was that with 10% added sweet pumpkin powder.

This study investigated the effect of addition of pumpkin on the physicochemical properties of rice sponge cakes. Water retention capacity(WRC) was lowest in control preparations to which no pumpkin flour was added. WRC increased as more pumpkin flour was added and rice flour with 25% of added pumpkin flour showed a WRC of 89.0%. Similar to WRC, alkaline water retention capacity(AWRC) also increased as more pumpkin flour was added and ranged h 69.7% to 80.7%. As the amount of pumpkin flour added increased, the pH increased. Similar to the sedimentation value, the Pelshenke value also increased as the amount of the added pumpkin flour increased. The gelatinization temperature did not vary significantly between the samples(p＜0.05). The midline peak height, which is the height of the peak point from the baseline, showed the same tendency with that of the midline peak time, but was not significantly different between samples(p＜0.05). Volume was decreased as the amount of the added pumpkin flour increased. The weight of the rice sponge cakes showed significant difference increasing with the increasing added pumpkin flour(p＜0.05). There was significant difference as the specific loaf volume decreased with the increasing pumpkin flour(p＜0.0 5).

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of pound and sponge cakes prepared with Cucurbita maxima Duchesne (C. Maxima Duch.) puree, via physical and sensory examinations. The cakes were formulated by repalcing the egg with C. maxima Duch. puree at concentrations of 0, 10, 20 and 30%. C. maxima Duch. puree contained 87.91% water, 0.58% ash, 1.68% protein, 0.55% lipid, 1.02% fiber, and 8.26% carbohydrate. The physicochemical properties of the pound and sponge cakes evidenced similar patterns. The specific gravities of the pound and sponge cakes increased with increasing substitution levels, whereas the specific volumes were reduced. The hardness values of the pound and sponge cakes containing the C. maxima Duch. puree were higher than those of the controls. Substituting C. maxima Duch. puree for egg resulted in reduced lightness and increased redness in the cakes. Pound and sponge cakes with C. maxima Duch. puree evidenced higher moisture contents than the controls over 5 days of storage. Overall acceptances in sensory evaluation scored higher in the 20% substituted pound and sponge cakes.

This study aims to investigate the quality characteristics of breads with the addition of sweet pumpkin powder. Farinogram showed that the absorption rate of the dough decreased, the development time and stability became shortened, and the degree of attenuation tended to be grown along with increasing the amount of pumpkin powder. From the amylogram, it was found that the gelatinization starting temperature and the maximum viscosity of pumpkin powder added dough seemed to be decreased as the amount of pumpkin powder was increased. Extensogram showed that there was a decrease in the degree of extension of the dough added with increasing the amount of pumpkin powder, while an increase in the degree of resistance and resistance/extensibility. The lightness (L value) and redness (a value) of bread was found to be decreased with increasing the amount of pumpkin powder, while the yellowness (b value) increased. In terms of the dough texture, for which the hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess of the dough were measured, there were no significant differences between groups, while the dough added with 8.0% pumpkin powder showed a significant decrease in the elasticity. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the highest score of color (p<0.05) and taste (p<0.05) were obtained from the bread added with 6.0% and 8.0% pumpkin powder, while the highest score of texture in control and 3.0% pumpkin bread. In addition, the highest score of flavor (p<0.05) and overall acceptance (p<0.05) were observed in bread added with 6.0% pumpkin powder. Upon the results of this study, it was assumed that the development of food products using pumpkin are prospective in response to health-oriented consumers.
